Oh brother I can’t I can’t get through
I’ve been tryin‘ hard to reach you ‚cause I don’t know what to do
Oh brother I can’t believe it’s true
I’m so scared about the future and I want to talk to you
Oh I want to talk to you.

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody had sung
Or do something that’s never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can’t find your missing piece?
Tell me how you feel
Well I feel like they’re talkin‘ in a language I don’t speak
And they’re talkin‘ it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody had sung or do
Something that’s never been done, do
Something that’s never been done

So you don’t know where you’re goin‘
And you want to talk
And you feel like you’re goin‘ where you’ve been before
You tell anyone who’ll listen, but you feel ignored
But nothing’s really makin‘ any sense, let’s talk
Let’s talk, let’s talk, let’s talk.

How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin?
How long before you decide?
Before I know what it feels like?
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try, then you’ll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on this side of this mountain of mine?

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I going to stand
With my head stuck under the sand?
I’ll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you’d understand

Ideas that you’ll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn’t read
Or a light that I couldn’t see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you’d understand
Oh, when you see it, then you’ll understand

All those signs, I knew what they meant
Some things you can’t invent
Some get made and some get sent
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it, then you’d understand
Oh, when you see it, then you’ll understand

You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that’s what made me see where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that’s where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on the line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that’s when I
Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they’ll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you’ll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that’s where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets your walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that’s where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget, but not forgive
Not loving all you see
All the streets you’re walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that’s where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
